Hey all,
I've just bought a wired selfie stick for my G3, and don't know how to set the camera button to shoot the photo.
It works well on iPhone 6+ and Samsung S4, and i suppose I need to set volume up key for shooting photos and I don't know how.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I remember you can take pictures with volume buttons since ICS on every phone. I just tried and it doesn't matter if I press volume up or down, it snaps a photo.
If your already using such a weird stick, you can also use voice recognition, which acutally works really good.

I know that this has been posted in the Samsung Focus forum here BUT since I have an LG this seems to be a WP7 general problem.
Does anyone have tricks or tips to turn this sound off? Even when turning the system sound down to 0 and set the profile to vibrate, the shutter sound is still LOUD and clear.
I guess we'll just have to wait until we have root folder access to reach that wav file to mute it.
Very annoying.
It is probably for stupid legal reasons. So you can annoy everybody when you want to take pictures during a professional meeting.

There's a trick I think. Launch a song on Zune, Pause. Take a picture.
Hope MS can solve this.
yea I heard it was for legal reasons, same on the blackberry. The weird thing is my ex's iphone didn't have the shutter sound and she snapped unsuspecting pictures all the time

Interesting trick but it didn't work for me.
Legal reasons eh? You would think that MS would have used the mui's loaded in the WP7 rom to determine where it's illegal and where it's not. If my WP7 rom is 0409, give me the option to have the sound or not.
On the HD7 (and maybe other HTC devices?) the shutter sound respects the volume control.

Seems like my HTC Mozart respects the master volume as well. Turn that down to zero and there's no shutter sound.

Hmmm...so it seems like LG & Samsung are the culprits. If that's the case then the ONLY way we'll have this fixed is to manually edit the wav file that makes the sound. I highly doubt LG and Sammy care enough to work on this even if we raise a stink.
Then do it.
XDA, tear down that shutter sound!
Found working solution... for me anyways
Hey everybody, I've been trying to get around the issue for a while myself and found this: karnicki.eu/?p=10 for the omnia7. It did the trick for me and whenever I set the phone to silent the shutter stays in STFU mode! I fiddled with the sound settings before but it might be something magical about the 1000/-1000 combo. Please test and confirm.
If someone has an unlocked device with TouchXplorer installed and willing to experiment, there are two files:
\Windows\camerashutter_mirage.wav
\Windows\shutter.wav
that you might want to replace with .wav files containing just silence.
I'm not sure if it's possible to do, but may be worth a try.
turn your phone volume down then take a picture, usually works for me.

Yup, I can corfirm it works on the Trophy.
There's a Way
There's a hack for disabling the shutter sound. Check this thread:

Yes,confirmed...its works on my Mozart....just turn to volume to low or 0 in both vibrate or ring mode,the shutter sound will be eliminated.
The volume buttons do not work, any one know how to get these working?
Cheers
Nope the volume buttons don't work. The only reference I've found to that is from the description of the "Headset Button" app saying that the iphone volume buttons are not supported by the "Android framework", no more details than that.
There was half a furore a couple of years ago where it was claimed that Apple added a special encrypted chip to the ipods so that they can licence the headphone buttons technology. Result is that the volume buttons can only be used by ipods/iphones... I don't think it was ever confirmed.
I still don't get it though. There has to be some sort of signal that can be detected by the phone when the volume buttons are pressed. Can someone explain how can that be prevented? Or is it a matter of software update Android-side?
Aside from the volume controls, what do you think of call quality on the iPhone headset winwiz? I've tried several headsets now but I still can't find one that works well.

Logcat doesn't show any usable interactions when volume buttons are pressed...

True - I've just checked in catlog and it just doesn't register.
I don't understand how apple managed to lock this down. A signal is a signal. Is it just a matter of bios upgrade?
It would be useful to at least get the hands on the whitepaper/specs that are given to the iphone headset makers. Maybe there is a way that we can hack the phone to read these signals.
Why? Apple headphones are terrible.

Try and keep up. We want iPhone headsets from decent manufacturers to work properly...
Is there any way to turn off the shutter sound for the camera? It even sounds when the system sound is switched off?
i noticed if the "media" volume is set to 0 then the camera shutter sound is also off
so if youre in the camera app, just use the volume rocker and set it to nothing - i had this by accident and noticed there was no shutter sound
once i put it back up a bit i could hear the camera shutter
there should also be another way if you rooted your phone to delete the camera.ogg file somewhere - but pretty sure you wont have it at all anymore if you take that approach
I use tasker to set media volume to 0 when in the camera app

If you have root,
1. Go to /system/media/audio/ui (I think that's the directory, I don't have my GN on me)
2. Rename camera-click.ogg to whatever you wish. Change the extension, whatever.
3. ???
4. Profit!
Thanks guys. Ive gone down the rename route.
Wow, all I have to do is hold volume down until it mutes.
No "bleep" sound.
Root? Why??
Because we like to use our phones to the max potential?
Why bother with volume changing when it can be permanently fixed, quite easily?

What's the obsession with the camera sound, anyway? Sneaking photos of chick's asses?
Besides, if someone heard the sound anyway, they would never associate it with a camera shutter.
People are weird. If it's that single moment that requires silence, just hold the volume down button for 2 seconds. Take photo, spend another 2 seconds.
Or I guess if you are constantly taking creeper photos, then root and enjoy?
In some countries, it's illegal to mute camera' shutter sound.

Your pervert mind will think of perverted uses.
I personally find the camera beep one of the more annoying sounds possible.
And I don't like wasting my time.
I recently got a selfie stick as a gift over xmas. it has a shutter button on it and it connects via bluetooth. At first it was pressing the volume up key to take photos witch is what I want for use with Snapchat. now it shows as a external keyboard and when the button is presses it selects something on the screen rather than volume up. can anyone help with getting the button to link to the volume up command? I have a Galaxy S5 running stock 5.0 thanks!
Use my S7 for concert registrations and upgraded it to a S9 because of the praised camera.
The first recording with it was horrendous.
First, an annoyance, the Bixby button is exactly where my thumb is when holding it in landscape mode. When it gets rough I need to hold on tight, or when I eat a push or punch, my arm hits the Bixby button and that stops the recording. The main act got interrupted 9 times because of this. I have tried many things to block this, but nothing helped so far. I am planning to glue the button with epoxy and if that doesn't help physically rip the button from the casing.
Second, the show stopper. There is an undocumented feature that pulls the audio through an auto-level/muter filter. For a live concert with high volume levels the effect is horrendous. When the bass drum hits, it turns down and muffles the audio for like 2 seconds. The result is of lower volume than the more quieter bits, and it sounds like the phone is located in my underpants. It is so bad that the recording can be considered corrupted. I have recorded more than 60 concerts (some even louder) and have sufficient material to compare.
I do not want to use the S9 any more for this reason and am planning to return it for a refund if this isn't fixed or fixable.
Phone has G960FXXU2CRLI
Couple of questions:
- Can this auto-level/muter be disabled (I haven't found any setting that might hint its existence)?
- My alternative is the S8, but that also has a Bixby button. Does the S8 have the auto-level/muter too?
- If both answers are negative, does that mean I'm stuck with my S7 forever, or is it time to switch brand?
First of all you can turn off the Bixby button completely, a little Google search would've helped. But go into Bixby/settings and scroll down to the general section, there you'll see the option to turn it off. As far as the audio, I haven't had any issues with recording, maybe your mics were obstructed.

Thank you, but you can't. At least with OneUI you cannot. The only choice you get is "Press once to open Bixby" or "Press twice to open Bixby". It explicitly states that a long press will always open Bixby. That punches through any active app. I've tried everything on the internet and a friend helped searching for alternatives. At this minute I'm actually looking for a stock rom to downgrade and see how that works.
And about the obstructed mics, thank you for making me feel stupid, maybe I'm the first who is actually complaining about it. I didn't mean that bad, but you can listen and hear for yourself. first 2 and half minutes is sufficient to know what I mean. And, PLEASE listen and comment about what you hear. Having someone second this would be really more than nice.

My other recording of Architects (main act) is even worse.
https://youtu.be/JQ4y_suGx1Q
My friend also coined up that the camera issue is caused by the microphone auto-gain which is levelling the volume as to "optimise for voice recognition". I'm currently testing with the "Open Camera" app that gives you the choice to disable that. Still looking for a loud musical environment to test it is actually working.
I'll post the results when I found a working combination.
